Description
Jonathan Spielberg is a severely retarded nineteen year old resident of Henrico County, Virginia. Since 1977, the Henrico County Public Schools have paid the full cost of his education at the Melmark School ("Melmark"), a residential facility in Pennsylvania, under the Education of All Handicapped Children Act ("EHA"), 20 U.S.C. § 1401, et seq. In March 1985, the county initiated a reevaluation of Jonathans placement which concluded that he could be educated at a local school. His parents appealed that decision, seeking to continue his institutional placement. The district court reversed the state administrative decision, first finding that the county violated EHA procedures, and on reconsideration finding that Jonathan requires institutional placement. We affirm based on procedural violations of the EHA.
